Product Description:

Historically, trappers, trekkers, and soldiers didn’t carry sleeping bags; rather, they relied on blanket rolls for warmth. During the Vietnam War, this necessity led to the creation of a new type of blanket—the Poncho Liner. This ultra-lightweight piece served dual purposes as both a warm liner and rain poncho.

In Australian vernacular, a ‘swagman’ refers to a traveling worker, akin to an American cowboy or trapper, often seeking jobs at the frontier. However, unlike their American counterparts, Australian swagmen traveled on foot, carrying their possessions in a bed roll. We pay homage to these brave souls who faced chilly mornings by offering the SWAGMAN ROLL—designed so you won't have to endure their hardships.

Created from thin Nylon fabric and filled with Climashield Apex insulation—one of the finest materials for warmth—the SWAGMAN ROLL adapts to various needs. Whether as a poncho liner, an emergency sleeping bag, an enhancement for your regular sleeping bag, a blanket alternative, or a hammock liner, it proves to be an essential companion. It can even be worn as a standalone warm coat.

Key Features:

• Advanced Insulation: The Climashield Apex provides excellent warmth retention.
• Durable Construction: Crafted from lightweight Nylon fabric that allows for breathability and quick drying.
• Compact Design: With a weight of only 745 grams (1.64 lbs) and dimensions of 145 x 200 cm (57.04 x 78.74 in), it’s easy to carry without taking up much space.
• Enhanced Functionality: It includes a warm hood for added coverage, a zippered front pocket with a hanger for small items, a self-pack pocket for easy storage, and a carrying bag for convenience.
• Compatibility: Designed to be USGI poncho compatible and serves well as a sleeping bag liner.

The SWAGMAN ROLL embodies thoughtful design and outstanding performance, making it an indispensable tool in situations where a warm cover is needed. Its versatility allows you to utilize it in a multitude of ways, ensuring that no matter your adventure, you'll remain comfortably warm and protected.
